Deprecate library?

Or at least prominently point people towards std? https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/thread/fn.available_parallelism.html

Take a look at the limitations section on that function. This crate does check processor affinity, and cgroups, and doing so has an important impact on servers running in containers.

Interesting, looks like there's a PR to fix that: rust-lang/rust#92697. In the meantime, perhaps it's worth pointing out the differences?

update: the mentioned PR is now merged

Here async-global-executor crate switched to the standard API: async-rs/async-global-executor#6

Here rayon crate is considering dropping the library: rayon-rs/rayon#937

[notgull]

Either way, I feel like the important thing is that this crate is available on earlier versions of Rust, which is important to crates who don't want to bump their MSRV.

Yea, probably not going to do this just yet.
